Re: [gentoo-user] How often -uD world?
I have $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on the SD card, which is cheap enough to replace if too many OOo compiles toast it. And I took your advice 2. It's sloow I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly some compiles completed. Not as fast as my desktop of course, but faster than was expecting, although 14 hours for OOo required a certain amount of patience. My speeds vary, Sometimes it seems quicker than at other times. Most noticeably when I log in; sometimes it takes ~10 secs for the prompt to show, sometimes it's instantaneous Maybe wait for Neil Bothwick to show up and ask him for the gory details - he seems to have gotten it down pat on his Eee. As mentioned yesterday, I now do all emerges in a chroot on my desktop to build binary packages, then emerge -k on the Eee, so Ooo only takes 90 minutes now. The only compiling I do on the Eee is kernel changes. Negatory. My dialup is attenuated by 8 miles of analog telephone line. When I'm mobile it's a different story. mw

2. Don't change a winning team! If your kernel run's smoothly with no weird glutches in drivers, leave it be. Only update if you want new features. Just my 2p's worth Greetz, Mark Works for my desktop. I haven't updated it for years. Just poked along fixing this and that; if something stops working and I can't fix it, I just install something else. LOL here's the bottom line for -puvDN world on my desktop ... Total: 447 packages (303 upgrades, 4 downgrades, 104 new, 3 in new slots, 33 reinstalls, 11 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 1,062,289 kB Conflict: 27 blocks (15 unsatisfied) ... Not going to happen. mw

You have my deepest sympathies. Dial-up, of any kind, truly sucks. :-@ Funny thing is, our old phone lines were about that far too. Most of the time I got about 3KB/s of throughput.

The only compiling I do on the Eee is kernel changes. This suggests using the fetchonly switch, write the files to USB key while mobile and compile them later on the desktop. But when I do % emerge -pfuvND world I just get page after page of the mirrors list from make.conf. Is there a way to tell portage to ignore the Rs and collect only the Us, Ns and NSs? mw

What else do you expect it to do? You can keep a local copy of distfiles on a USB stick and insert it when you want to fetch; this will help avoid duplicate downloads. But you are asking for something that is way out of the province of portage. If you really wanted to, you could parse the output of emerge -pv, grep just the Us and Ns, then re-run emerge -pvf for those packages, cat and sort -u the whole lot and finally redirect it to a file that you can redirect back into wget. I used to do this. Trust me, it's more trouble than it's worth. A 4G memory card just for distfiles will solve the problem nicely. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

[gentoo-user] How would I disable Flash (oand other things) for a single account?
Is it possible to shut off all multimedia stuff for a single account? It's doesn't have to be securely off, just off, so if it cannot be done by meddling with group membership then doing something in a root owned bash file that executes when the user logs in even that's fine with me. (Uh - even I don't know much about what Linux/Gnome does when a user logs in so I'll get to learn a bit also!) I've removed the user account from the audio, video and games groups. When playing YouTube stuff sound is gone but the Flash video is still there. Can I stop that from working. maybe by changing paths if there's not an easier way to do it? Thanks, Mark
